    Pangolin trafficking has reached critical levels, writes Wilson Center Global Fellow Sharon Guynup in May’s most popular post. Originally published in Mongabay, “Pangolins on the Brink” tracks the expansion of the deadly trade in this unique species across Africa, India, China, and even the United States.

China is getting ready to cash in on the emerging blockchain economy and in the melting Arctic, and rounding out the Top 5: frightening new analysis of the environmental risks of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine by Wim Zwijnenburg.
